French swimmer disqualified in 10km open-water event
French swimmer Aurelie Muller
Rio De Janeiro - Arab Today
French swimmer Aurelie Muller has been stripped of her Olympic silver medal after being found guilty of ‘dunking’ opponent Rachele Bruni on the finish line, according to Metro.
After a chaotic race officials were called upon to controversially disqualify Muller when footage emerged of a confusing finale to the women’s 10k open water event.
‘The French swimmer has sunk me,’ Italy’s Bruni told media after the event.
‘At the finish she obstructed me and I could not touch the board. I am glad of the decision of the judges.’
After removing Muller, the gold medal eventually went to Sharon Van Rouwendaal, silver to Italy’s Bruni and bronze to Brazil’s Poliana Okimoto.
